Can Ayurveda help reduce dependence on regular insulin? - #16686
I’ve been diabetic for the past 7 years, and since last year, my doctor put me on regular insulin because my sugar levels were getting out of control. At first, I was managing with just tablets, but gradually, my fasting sugar kept rising, and now I have to take regular insulin every day. I never thought I’d reach this stage so soon, but now I feel like my body is completely dependent on it. My sugar levels are still fluctuating. Some days they drop too low, and I feel dizzy, sweaty, and weak. Other days, even with regular insulin, my post-meal sugar spikes. I follow a decent diet, or at least I try to. I avoid sweets, eat more home-cooked meals, but sometimes I crave junk food and end up eating it. Maybe that’s making things worse? Also, I barely exercise due to my work schedule. Could that be why my body isn’t responding well to regular insulin? I’ve heard that Ayurveda has natural ways to control diabetes, and I really want to reduce my dependence on regular insulin. Is there any Ayurvedic medicine or treatment that can help my pancreas function better so I don’t have to rely on insulin forever? I’m also interested in Ayurvedic dietary changes – are there specific foods that can naturally regulate sugar levels? If anyone has successfully managed diabetes with Ayurveda while on regular insulin, I’d love to hear how you did it. Is it possible to stop insulin completely with Ayurvedic treatment, or is it just a supportive therapy? Please share any herbs, remedies, or lifestyle tips that actually work.
